What's the next step for wearable devices?

Google's surprise was that, before the public offering, Mikandi, the US sex company, had already stepped forward and released a trailer for the first adult film to be filmed using Google Glass . Out of the trailer shows that this is a first person to shoot the adult film, the film male and female actors are wearing Google Glass, there are a large number of Google Glass screenshots. In the film, Google Glass to the role of male and female almost inseparable, even in aardvark.

Ignore the first paragraph, but this also shows that the Google Glass as the representative of the "wearable equipment" is invading our lives, Google, Apple, Samsung, Nike and other giants, Jawbone, Fitibit and other start-up companies will be the battle of the user to reach the "human body."

What about wearable equipment? At present, wearable equipment can be broadly divided into intelligent wear equipment and general wear equipment.

With Google Glass as the representative of the head-wearing, the legendary iwatch as the representative of the smart watch because of its own CPU, operating system and then have the characteristics of microcomputers, can support third-party applications, belong to intelligent wearable equipment. Limited by the network environment, computing performance and the contradiction between the volume of equipment, glass and iwatch are the supporting role of smart phones, need to rely on the ability of smartphones and Internet communications, computing storage capacity.

General wearable equipment such as Nike, plump hand ring, etc., the main function is the personal health management. They are positioned to collect data, to be responsible for sensors, or to work with sensors. Application functions such as sharing, Internet communications, etc. above these low-level jobs are largely irresponsible, and even basic IO (input/output) of electronic devices is extremely limited, for example, some motion-assisted devices provide only the voice control of Siri, and the screen is removed. This means that using these devices can be difficult for a while: you have to connect your sports gear with a smartphone, tablet or PC afterwards, and then use the suite on your PC to sync the data and generate a chart report.

The next step to wearable is embeddable. Wearable equipment is removable at any time, has not "entered the body", and "embeddable device" is directly implanted into the human body, such as the mouth. Even swallow the body, or implant the skin. This makes some conservatives feel weird and even uncomfortable. But the reality is that scientists and businesses have been pushing the cause forward without hesitation.

Recently, the National Taiwan University of China has been studying the implantation of sensors into teeth to help people who have been implanted to quit smoking or to control their diets. A research team at the National Taiwan University has experimented with a prototype chip in eight dentures, 94% of which can distinguish between chewing, smoking, drinking, lecturing and coughing, and then wirelessly transmitting the results to a doctor for diagnosis. These chips need to be communicated via Bluetooth to smartphones.

Around 700 BC, the people of the Andes in northern Italy used gold to make dentures. It can be said that oral cavity embedding is the ancient tradition of mankind. Satisfying appetite is the most basic survival requirement of human beings. If the oral-cavity device is acceptable, the two technologies that Motorola showed at the D11 convention 2 months ago would be a bit exaggerated.

At the conference, Regina Dugan, senior vice president of Motorola's cutting-edge technology and planning, showed two technologies: electronic tattoos and identity-certified pills. Electronic tattoos rely on a new, extendable electronic system that can be kept working even when bent on the wearer's skin. "Criticisms of wearable devices such as smart watches include young people not wanting to wear them at all, but digital tattoos are much more appealing," says Dugan. "Compared to electronic tattoos, the identification pill is more avantgarde. After the user swallows the pill into his belly, it is driven by stomach acid, which produces a 18-bit signal in the body. The person who swallows the pill becomes the certification token. The pill has been approved by the FDA.

Motorola's Dugan and the MC10 and Proteusdigital Tiyatien, which provide support for the two "avant-garde" technologies, are in line with the trend towards wearable devices. Although Google is already a motorcycle owner, it does not prevent them from thinking that Google Glass and Apple Watch are too one-sided on "wearable" devices. They think wearable technology will eventually enter the human body, and then integrate with people, rather than "superficial kung fu."

If so, humanity will again face the same profound contradictions as the privacy and health threats posed by Googleglass. Especially in the Oriental culture of "the parents of body skin", it has the conflict of ethics and idea to transform the body for the potential convenience. Emitting a 18Bit signal from the stomach, allowing the skin to have a radio-frequency function, which itself has a negative effect on the body is unknown.

It is hard to cite the truth that technology is a double-edged sword. We have no choice, because the doers have done everything they could to advance the implementation. It is doubtful that there is one area where wearable and embeddable could have had a lot of room to play, and that people are willing to pay for it, but scientists have not made progress in matching normal health management. This area is gender.

Throughout the development of the Internet, the adult industry and the industry associated with this "original drive" occupy half the Internet. In addition to generating more than 30% traffic, there are many inspiring innovations in technology and business models that are being applied to the common Internet domain. Wearable equipment If a breakthrough in this field, will be able to speed up the development of wearable embedded equipment.

It is natural to combine "bed movement" with wearable equipment. Understand the island Love action film culture should have some experience. What are you wearing? It's not about candles, but with other health management devices, you might also be able to collect data to make smart suggestions about the amount of exercise, movement, intensity, frequency, skill, and even posture. If a person is found to be excessive, can also be a "friendly reminder."

If you open some more, the combination of equipment and the Internet can even do share, SNS (with the Mo Mo cooperation?), ex-post experience sharing (reference travel site introduction, photos, planning, questions and answers, etc.). If further, the surrounding services to open the room (and where to cooperate?), Durex and other brand advertising, the Spring Hall Mall remuneration. Farther in accordance with entrepreneurial thinking is extended to the pregnant baby after the Internet field of pregnancy. In short, it seems like a good business.

As I know by chance, there are already nuggets in the area of "gender" wearable equipment. Search for "adult" in the App Store has more than 600 apps, one of which is called the Love Tracker. According to the introduction, this application can provide the number of times, lasting records, Impact records, duration and other records. The most special is that it also refers to the 360 of ideas, providing a "you beat the national X percent of men" ranking. The problem is that when using this app, you have to hold the phone. Because of its many statistics such as "impact record", the need to rely on mobile phone's body sensing technology. This is not realistic, and this is probably why this app has only 11 comments. It also means the opportunity to wear equipment.

In addition to wearable equipment, the embedded devices mentioned above also have rich application space. In view of not being able to teach bad kids, leave it to the interested readers to imagine. Provide a few key words: g Spot found, whether excessive indulgence in the supervision, azimuth accuracy, etc. In China it seems to be able to combine some of the means and equipment of family planning.

On this topic, you should think that Japan is bound to lead one step. Yes, Japan launched a rather exotic "remote kisser" as early as 2011. Participants in both parties take a straw from a terminal to the mouth, with the tongue turning the straw, the straw on the other end will rotate in the same way, "if you (let it) turn back, then your lover's (the end straw) also turns back, so your lover's terminal rotates in the same way as your terminal." Japanese researchers explained.

Unfortunately, the kissing device can only deliver some of the elements. Kissing is a magical way of intimacy. In addition to action, taste, respiration, humidity, and even hormones in the environment can affect the entire experience. Behind these elements is the researchers are trying to conquer, hope can be transmitted remotely, in addition to the smell is still very superficial "synthetic technology", the other looks difficult. What I am thinking is, if you conquer other elements, or apply this "remote" further to the deeper "human interaction"? Well, it's not appropriate to think further.

It also reminds me of the market for jumping eggs that the media reported before. Now, the market for specialised female users has gradually taken shape, and on Taobao, one of the biggest sales of adult goods stores has sold more than 6,000 jumping eggs in the last 30 days. According to Taobao's sex products industry personage said, adult toy domestic sales about 1.2 billion yuan, most of them are for female users. Some entrepreneurs are also thinking about whether they can combine the "fun" function of a jumping egg with a "healthy" auxiliary function. For example, in the jump egg set pressure induction, test paper and scanning sensors, including temperature, secretions and the internal structure of the various body data, set up a corresponding database, for the occurrence of an abnormal data, to alert the warning. If the user allows, even with the hospital network, the discovery of abnormalities directly report to the doctor.

Gender is a secret topic, but it's a big deal. People are willing to spend money for a better experience, and gender health is a very important part of human health. But in the tradition of sexual change, these businesses are somewhat obscure. Facebook, micro-letter, MO, Century Jiayuan and other sites, have a certain degree of benefit from the "hormone" this mysterious matter. Also, hormones can drive the development of wearable devices. Freud said, "Sex is the primary driving force of man."
